TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to sewing machine technical field, concretely relates to a sewing machine cloth feeding flatness detection system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Clothing fabric is up to millions of kinds, especially in the small single fast reaction era, the change of clothes means the change of fabric, and different fabrics need different thread tension to form good stitches, which requires a certain degree of adjustment of the sewing machine. The thread tension after stitch formation, that is, the thread tightness, is an important standard for evaluating stitch quality. When the thread tension is appropriate, the formed stitch is beautiful, the tightness is appropriate, and it has certain stretchability. For example, the trouser legs sewn by flat sewing need to be tightly sewn together, so it is not easy to open the seam. When the thread tension is too loose or too tight, it will form a poor stitch, which may cause the size of the garment to become smaller. Such stitches need to be removed and reworked. Sometimes there are stitches between good and bad stitches, which are generally due to factors such as fabric and thread tension, resulting in tight stitches and slight fabric wrinkles. Compared with flat stitches, poor stitches include twisting, horizontal wrinkles, vertical wrinkles, floating surface threads, floating bottom threads, throwing threads, skipping stitches, misaligned layers, stitch deviation, stitch length inequality, stitch direction inconsistency, stitch skewing, and arching.
[0003] The difference between the stiffness of the entire layer of fibers of the woven fabric in the stitch direction and the thread tension for forming the stitch is called the tensile resistance. For fabrics with good tensile resistance, the stitches on the fabric are not easy to wrinkle. If the fabric has poor tensile resistance and the stitches are tight, it will be difficult to iron flat, wrinkle after washing, and the size will become smaller.

[0044] In summary, in the present utility model, the first visual sensor can detect the displacement of the fabric at the presser foot thread groove 101 on the needle plate 3 after each feeding action of the feeding dog 4 and send it to the control system, the second visual sensor 5 can detect the displacement of the fabric on the left or right side of the presser foot 1 on the needle plate 3 after each feeding action of the feeding dog 4 and send it to the control system, the third visual sensor 6 can detect the displacement of the fabric on the front side of the presser foot 1 on the needle plate 3 after each feeding action of the feeding dog 4 and send it to the control system, the control system compares the displacement of the fabric at the presser foot thread groove 101 on the needle plate 3 after each feeding action of the feeding dog 4 with the displacement of the fabric on the left or right side of the presser foot 1 to detect the feed stretch condition of the fabric on the needle plate 3, the control system compares the displacement of the fabric at the presser foot thread groove 101 on the needle plate 3 after each feeding action of the feeding dog 4 with the displacement of the fabric on the front side of the presser foot 1 to detect the feed wrinkle condition of the fabric on the needle plate 3, through the detected feed stretch or feed wrinkle condition of the fabric on the needle plate 3, the feed flatness of the fabric on the needle plate 3 is detected, therefore, through the present sewing machine feed flatness detection system, the feed flatness of the fabric on the needle plate 3 can be detected, so that adjustments can be made in time when the fabric on the needle plate 3 is in a feed stretch or feed wrinkle state, thereby facilitating the improvement of the flatness of the garment.
[0045] When the sewing machine sews the cloth with elasticity, the cloth pressed by the presser foot 1 can be elongated in the feeding process, which causes the feeding effect to be attenuated. At this time, the displacement of the cloth on the left and right sides of the presser foot 1 which is not pressed by the presser foot 1 is obviously different from the displacement of the cloth at the presser foot accommodating groove 101. After the feeding tooth 4 completes a feeding action, the displacement of the cloth at the presser foot accommodating groove 101 on the needle plate 3 is greater than the displacement of the cloth on the left or right side of the presser foot 1, and the cloth on the needle plate 3 appears the feeding stretch condition.
[0046] When the sewing machine sews the cloth which is easy to wrinkle, after the feeding tooth 4 completes a feeding action, the displacement of the cloth at the presser foot accommodating groove 101 on the needle plate 3 is greater than the displacement of the cloth in front of the presser foot 1, and the cloth on the needle plate 3 appears the feeding wrinkle condition.
[0047] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for the ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and substitutions can be made, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
